Most colleges are non-profits, which means they are supposed to be, ya know, not profit seekers. Harvard, like many others, is not a business.

I remember one of the tidbits I picked up from a psychology textbook was that people who were worse at knowing if their partner was lying were in happier relationships. Turns out that white lies are important.
I think the superhearing power is going to be different than you think. You can already hear your clothes rubbing against skin, the air conditioning blowing, etc. Your brain is pretty good at filtering those out. Now, the conversations will be more difficult, but think about your experiences at a party. Most of the time you can hear another group’s conversation if you listened and focused on them, but you can tune them out (most of the time, ignoring the cocktail party effect stuff for now). Unless you have focus issues already, it wouldn’t be a big deal. The issue would be the initial period where your brain has to learn what exactly to filter out. Right now, a rustle to my right would be a bad sign, and hearing a rat crawling through the wall would freak me out. After a few weeks though, I bet I’d have adjusted.
Insert: >Superman is actually a psychokinetic
Damn. You hit the nail on the head with that one. I don’t remember when I started referring to adults by their first names, but it was such an odd feeling. Now I call everyone from the 89 year old neighbor to the 9 year old across the street by their first name, and they’re okay with it, gack!
I mean, just my personal opinion, but abstinence does need to be taught as a co-curriculum with a large portion of relationship education (particularly what a good relationship is/has, and what a bad relationship looks like and how to leave it), and stoicism and some other philosophies that demonstrate how forgoing pleasure (for some things, for periods of time) can lead to better outcomes. I don’t want my kid thinking they need to refrain from sex because it’s somehow immoral, but I also don’t want them to jump into every ‘relationship’ that comes their way in school and start having sex with someone who is just using them for their genitals.
And it was a hilarious one, with some funny subtext. The nature guy with a blowpipe shooting a redneck who was littering from a pickup truck? You can’t tell me that isn’t oddly reminiscent of some of today’s fuck cars stereotypes.
Hey, you can’t just point out my tiny ear canals like that! There are people that love how they feel!
But what’s wrong with crystal meth? It always helps me to focus when I’m trying to brush my teeth.
Well, it’s anecdotal, but when I was earning <$30k a year, I wouldn’t go to a restaurant if I couldn’t get a good meal for less than $10, pre tip. I think I went to Applebee’s once, when they had an unlimited wing deal for ~$13, and that was a way to eat for two days in one meal.
As someone with wax issues in the ears, no, q-tips suck at cleaning ears. You’ll end up pushing the wax into your eardrum and causing the impacted wax that you were trying to avoid in the first place. That’s why I use those tiny screwdrivers. /shrug
I’d add simple soldering. It’s amazing how many little gadgets go bad because a little wire inside broke loose when it was dropped. I’ve fixed headphones, a temperature sensor, and even done things with the vehicles.
I love that website. The surgical knots were nice to have in place to reference.
Okay, hear me out: This might seem odd, but the delicious combination of tangy blue raspberry and melted, uh… swiss? cheese that I can see there just might be the best thing you’ve never tried.
Cars…will burn rather than explode
Some of the other folks pointed out the vapors possible in a fuel tank. I’ll add that I had a coworker who had been an explosives disposal fella, and he used to get twitchy if the tank in our car dropped under half. He said it was a relatively small but definitely larger-than-our-car bomb ready to go off. I’d trust his reckonings on that one. Plus, there are parts of a car that, even if its just burning, will explode, such as the tires. I had a single tire blow as I walked around a burning car, and I would not have been amiss in describing it as a small bomb going off.
If I were to guess, it’s because the randomness of the upgrades is just a little too random at first. Once you get used to it, and get some upgrades, the game is no longer as frustrating.
After I beat the game, I installed some mods that made it so you were more likely to get certain gods (and you could choose which ones), and it became quite a bit more fun. Getting the combo powers, and ones that you were interested in, wasn’t some super rare occurrence anymore.
Lol, it hurts that I’m no longer champ. The skill curve has definitely ramped up though, so being Diamond is not a bad thing. It’s my fault for taking a three year break and expecting to come back as good as I was.
Aye, that first experience when a friend convinced me that part of the game was trading for better items blew my mind. My only previous experience with that sort of game was diablo, where you could definitely get through the whole game with just found items.
I miss the old way they had though, where it was worth having a single target attack and an aoe attack on swapped weapons, and dominus, try 3, was a hard fight.
How is it illegal? If the terms are on the lease, and you agreed to them, then it’s no different than any other business contract. What law prevents a landlord from making that one of the terms?
I mean, I think California just tried something. New York, D.C., New Jersey, Illinois/Chicago, and some other places too.
